The woman with jewelry in this portrait by Raymond Neher is someone called Pamela Babey. I don't know any details of her, but I presume she was a friend of Raymond's. What we can tell from the painting, however, is that it appears she was a woman who liked to wear a fair amount of jewelry! She is dressed in black but her top has a dotted pattern, and she is wearing a necklace that appears to be made of ceramic, possibly American Indian. Behind her on the wall is hanging a rug or blanket that also appears to be American Indian, so let's conclude this was an interest of hers. She wears a large stainless steel bracelet and several rings, and of course, earrings.
